Pei who took me under his wing at the peak of his career when he signed under his own name several museums, and to trust me with their oversight. Of the eight Priztker Architects I had the chance to work with or under, I.M had the modesty to see each project as a social engagement and any completed building as unfi nished – a lesson I continue to aspire to.

If I attempt to list all of those who helped me forge many of these projects - predominantly museums - solo or in various joint-ventures, I am bound to miss someone. Thus, since most of you know who you are, valued clients and partners, I simply write here to say how much I owe your enthusiasm and rigor that helped make each project a success. I dedicate this volume of work to your unresting commitment towards visionary and collaborative practice.

And I would like to make a personal thanks to Jacques Herzog and to A ndy Sedgwick of Arup, w ho both were an impetus to start my second c hapter of building practice in Europe, after I c losed m y former firm in N ew York to create Atelier Culbert in Switzerland . For all those who c ontributed to my earlier practice – notably the Louvre-Lens Muse um I c o-authored – your talen ts are f ound between these pages.

Finally, many thanks for all those involved in the Dubai Studio that allowed me to design large scale projects – from bridges in China to masterplans in Oman – with a small team showing that size does not matter when experimenting with new project scales or bioregions and optimism reigns in the studio.

This sensitivity to an engaged creative practice – by all stakeholders – strikes me as our single, irrevocable tool to planet-positive building. _ Tim Culbert Architect Dipl./SIA RIBA www.timculbertarchitect.com instagram: @atelierculbert @timculbert_at_work [email protected] •
